MS IN COMPUTING: GRAPHICS & VISUALIZATION

Transcription

1 A student may pursue an MS with (1) a course-only option, (2) a project option, or (3) a thesis option. The minimum number of credits for any option is 31 with 30 from graduate level (6000 level for CS courses) and 1 hour of either CS 7942 Seminar or CS 7933 Graphics Seminar. Seminars may not replace required or elective courses. TRACK FACULTY Martin Berzins, Elaine Cohen, Charles Hansen (Track Director), Chris Johnson, Ladislav Kavan, Mike Kirby, Alexander Lex, Miriah Meyer, Valerio Pascucci, Bill Thompson, Cem Yuksel (COURSE ONLY OPTION) Required courses: CS 7933 Graphics Seminar (or) CS 7942 Seminar (one credit hour maximum) Graduate level CS courses and independent study (a maximum of three hours of independent study is allowed). Thesis research hours are not counted toward the degree in the course-only option. COURSE-ONLY OPTION other departments including 5000 or 6000 level courses, excluding independent study, seminars and research credit. 14

2 (PROJECT OPTION) Required courses: CS 7933 Graphics Seminar (or) CS 7942 Seminar (one credit hour maximum) Students must take at least 3 and up to 6 credits (no more than 6 credits) of independent study for their MS project. Thesis research hours are not counted toward the degree in the project option. PROJECT OPTION other departments including 5000 or 6000 level courses, excluding independent study, seminars, research credit. 15

3 (THESIS OPTION) Minimum 21 hours classroom courses and six hours of thesis research are required. Three of the following regular courses are required in addition to the seminar: CS 7933 Graphics Seminar (or) CS 7942 Seminar (one credit hour maximum) For the thesis option, students can take up to 9 thesis hours and no independent study. A minimum of six hours of thesis research (CS 6970) is required. THESIS OPTION other departments including 5000 or 6000 level courses, excluding independent study, seminars, research credit. 16

4 PHD IN COMPUTING: Course work listed on the approved Program of Study form must comprise at least 50 semester hours of graduate course work and dissertation research, exclusive of independent study. Graduate course work applied toward an MS degree may be included. At least 14 semester hours of dissertation research (CS 7970) and 30 semester hours of graduate course work must be included. Up to 20 hours of graduate level course work already applied to other degrees may be used in the program of study. PhD students must demonstrate core knowledge in computer graphics and visualization by passing three required courses, prior to the start of their fifth semester of study, with grades of B or better in each course and an overall GPA in the required courses greater than 3.5. TRACK FACULTY Martin Berzins, Elaine Cohen, Charles Hansen (Track Director), Chris Johnson, Ladislav Kavan, Mike Kirby, Alexander Lex, Miriah Meyer, Valerio Pascucci, Bill Thompson, Cem Yuksel Three of the following four courses are required: 32

5 PHD IN COMPUTING: ELECTIVE COURSES School of Computing Computer Science courses on the Program of Study must be at the 6000 level or above, excluding independent study, and research credits. Of the required 30 semester hours, up to nine credit hours may be graduate courses outside of the School of Computing. Admissible elective courses within the School of Computing are the following: CS 6210 CS 6220 Computational Topolgy Advanced Scientific Computing I Advanced Scientific Computing II CS 7650 Physics-Based Animation Realistic Image Synthesis Courses not on the list above must be approved by the student s committee to count toward the elective requirements. Independent study (CS 6950 and CS 7950) can not be included in the Program of Study for the PhD degree. 33
